Be a Mentor

Mentor in the 2020-2021 CohortApplication due March 6, 2020

Our mentors are our greatest asset

Our class of mentors is the backbone of The Phoenix Scholars program. Mentors are matched with a Scholar who has similar experiences and interests as them and help to guide that student through the college admissions process. Most of our mentors come from low-income, first-generation, or minority backgrounds themselves. The Phoenix Scholars core team supports the mentors with monthly meetings and check-ins as well as electronic resources.

The Mentor Experience

Join the Family

Apply to be a Mentor

If you are a undergraduate student with a passion for mentorship, you should apply to be a Phoenix Scholars mentor! We hold our mentors to the highest standard. Our mentors are expected to communicate regularly with their scholar and the core team, fulfill any mentor assignments in a timely manner, and attend monthly meetings. Before the program begins, all mentors must also attend a training workshop led by a Stanford admissions officer.

Join the Core via Fellows

If you are a Stanford University student, be on the lookout for the announcement of our Fellows program.

The Fellows program is a rotational program in which you work in each our operational branches and then decide which team you'd like to spend your time on.

If you missed the fellows rotation (Fall Quarter), find the Directors contact information in our About page and shoot us an email! :)

"Being a mentor for The Phoenix Scholars has been one of the most rewarding things I've done in my life. Coming from a rural low-income background myself, being able to be in a position to give back and help someone else from a similar place is incredibly gratifying."- Jonathan Spratley, Stanford '15
